We get a fair number of dell's here where I work and the majority come with fat32 partitions and a tool to convert to ntfs. So you may be in luck. Boot into windows and open my computer and right click your c: drive and click properties. There it should say something like "File System NTFS" or FAT32. if its still fat32 then yast2 can resize your partition. Or else wait for SuSE 9.0 according to this story at the reg http://theregister.co.uk/content/61/33132.html suse 9 will resize ntfs partitions.

Question: Can SuSE partitioner resize Windows partitions ? If it can't ... Should I use "Partition Magic" or ... what else ?
Thank you.

AFAIK SuSE cannot resize NTFS partitions, only fat32. D.C. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
